i involved myself in a similar debate on another forum so as to not waste my time, i will cut and paste my previous statement here: [this really is stupid. rappers use rock beats a lot of the time nowadays and, correct me if i'm wrong, but a lot of crappy nu metal bands came out in the late 90's-early 2000's that were rapping over dumbed-down rock music(ie deftones,ratm(the only 2 good bands of this genre of crap), limp bizkit, korn, linkin park, and other mindless garbage). if rappers can be accused of stealing anything, it would have to be someone else's style. most rappers nowadays aren't really that original and get big because of their connections. as far as rock is concerned, the only thing anyone on this board seems to know about rock is what's force-fed to them during their daily diet of emptyv and radio. i see people on here who claim to be "punk", but can't talk about any band older than green day because they're oblivious to the fact that the music style has been around since the 70's. then you've got all the people who's only comments are "rap sux" and other such bs. you really are simple and close-minded individuals. i bet you're all a bunch of little kids who just follow whatever little klique you hang out with. well i think my little rant should put things in perspective and maybe we'll can see some more open-minded conversations on this board.] note to all: the topic this was discussed in was suppose to be about rappers stealing rock beats. it pretty much escalated into a "rap sux" "rock sux" bs. maybe some of you could learn something from my statement and we'll all be better off for it. and i don't intend for this to start some kiddie bs flame war. these are MY OPINIONS. as we all know, opinions are like assholes: everyone's got one
